key not accepted, options Posted by bobc [Email] (#473) [Profile/Gallery] (more from bobc) on Fri, 20 May 2016 11:19:44 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
So I put the key for my sportcombi through the wash cycle. I took it apart, dried it with a hair dyer, and placed it all in a bowl of dry rice (I dunno, I've heard that rice sometimes works ... it absorbs moisture)
I expected that the remote portion would no longer function but I was surprised that the transponder no longer transponds! And so, the key is no longer recognized by the car.
I have a spare of course, but it got me wondering. Should I carry the spare key *in the car*? I mean if this happened to me on the road somewhere I'd be stranded.
I thought that the transponder would survive most environmental assault, but I guess not.
I'm ordering a used key online. Ill transfer the guts to my physical key and get it married to the car.
